Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks for being here today.
I'm going to ask each group about apprenticeships. If I can throw out two questions, you guys could then respond.
There are two hurdles. We're seeing young people taking training courses, but they're not completing their apprenticeships. The success rate is abysmal. I would think that if they get into your industry, their chance for success would be far greater.
I'm going to ask you to comment about how many apprentices your organizations bring in over a period of time. What are the success rates there? Are they beyond the norm?
Mr. Smillie, the other question is about the lack of mobility. Red Seal does a really good job for the journeyman, but many of the young people who take training in some communities don't get any recognition of their credentials when they go to other provinces. What's your organization doing to help with that mobility?
Michelle, or Francis, you might want to comment.
